Ever read this? Who wrote it? Maybe it is obvious for the style?
In 1855, he wrote that if the movement ever won power it would rewrite the Declaration of Independence: When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics. When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.
